Most recent pics of my bondo-box Crapalier. It's taken a beating since last season. Shaved body panels + Burlington streets = effin' nightmare. I swear every f*cking time they patch a street here it gets incredibly worse. They should just give up trying to fix the streets.. I got pulled over by a lovely local officer who thought I was drunk because I was dodging mammoth potholes. He didn't believe me when I said I was avoiding potholes and still lectured me about careless driving. Asshat. Anyways, onto the pics.. a few minor add-ons. Even when insanely broke, I still find ways to modify my car






Home-made canards from aluminum sheet and rivets and front lip made from the same material used by others on the SRT-4 forum. I was going to make front under splitters but they would be torn off in a matter of minutes driving around here.

Not sure about these pieces I made yet.. I've gotten mixed reviews. I was inspired by the Top Tuner Solstice and Sky whose body panels wrap around the rims and the fact that I hated tire shine spraying down the side of my car.



Those are the purtttyyyy pictures. The following are painful, scars of war. This particular stress crack happened while being nearly murked by some impatient ass-monger in a Dodge truck who wouldn't give me space to back into a parking space. Mis-judged by inches, caught the edge of a curb with the bottom of my rear bumper and amazingly the entire car lifted on my fibreglass Type-J rear and this is the result. Could of been a lot worse, I guess..



I wish I had the resources to tear the car down and rebuild, but this is how it's going to be for the season. I like my car a little rough around the edges in a sense.. imperfection makes it perfect but it's hurting pretty bad. If I had the time and resources the car would already have a white carbon/black pearl two tone, vertical doors, finished interior, and stretched rubber on my 18s which would settle the car down about another half inch.

Looking at your car makes me want to go buy another cav and mod the hell out of it

Very nice.. even like the imperfections

so much hottness right there




RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

I've been thinking about doing something along those lines for mud flaps, nice work.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

^do it.

i love this car. can i has?

Nice!

Mr. Kleindl your Sig pic kinda looks like a Cobalt with a Pontiac front end. But a G6 is WAY better.

Looking good, sorry about the harsh roads. I know all about those here in Louisiana.



FOR SALE

I luv this car!! Looks real good

now only if you hit the front of the car and it pushed the fenders up to meet the hood. shame...

i love it dude, inspiration to make some custom mods

Saw you at Bk on brant and N service rd about a month or so ago. Nice car, couldn't see any of the cracks. Hamilton's roads are twice as bad as girlington's.

Congratulations, you have the first car in history that I like those sides on. I didnt realize they made fiberglass type J bumpers, must be a knock-off but I guess its easier to mold that way. The car looks great, keep up the good work.

looks pretty good Rankin.

Lanman31337 -F = fatties = do not want. A little chunk in the junk is ok though.

Haha, thanks guys.

It's such a love-hate thing. I love the car but I so wish I had the resources to clean it up and take it further.. I never include interior pics for a reason, its a freaking mess.

I'm looking to somewhat produce rear underpans/diffusers, canards, splitters, mudflaps and other pieces from aluminum sheet. We'll see how it goes. Kinda need to settle finances before starting a business.

And just because I'm so fed up with stress cracks and rock chips I've joked about Rhino-lining my car and keeping the hood, roof and trunk white.. ..eventually to have them wrapped in white carbon. Haha. I wonder how that would look.. hmm. Maybe Krown will sponsor me. Hahaha.

man that car is nice... even if it has the damage its still nice...

Love the burberry dash

that's minor stuff man. Glad to see you don't let it bug you.

I have to admit, those mud flaps you made are very nice. Looks pretty good and also serves a great purpose. I think we can all agree with tire shine, dirt, and rocks always end up flyinig up and hitting the sides of the car .

Keep it up man!
